SASKATOON Saskatoon was supposed to come alive with all the festivities the Juno Awards bring one year ago this week and the impact of the cancellation is still being felt in the city. “We had a Juno showcase with a couple other bands and obviously any time there’s a Junos event, a lot of industry folk and a lot of bands are playing in the city,” said W3apons band member Tallus Scott. Scott’s band did go through with their showcase performance, but it ended up being their last live event since the beginning of the pandemic.
SASKATOON The province says it is buying an additional four million medical grade disposable masks and 30,000 face shields from two Saskatoon companies for use in schools. School divisions will receive the supplies by mid-March, according to a news release from the education ministry. The medical grade disposable masks will be shipped directly to school divisions by Innovation Safety Supply. The face shields are from Benchmark Personal Protective Equipment. The supplies are being purchased using the $10 million allocated to the Ministry of Education by the provincial COVID-19 contingency fund for the purchase of personal protective equipment for schools.
